About

Reef Dermatology in Carlsbad Village provides medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology from 1207 Carlsbad Village Drive, where double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs micrographic surgeon Dr. Jose Angel Gonzalez, MD, FAAD returned to his hometown as a Carlsbad High School alumnus to anchor a concierge-style practice on the Village's main corridor. The cosmetic dermatology program complements medical aesthetics providers along this stretch, including NakedMD Med Spa Carlsbad for injectable and laser maintenance between dermatologic visits. Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School provided his medical degree, followed by a dermatology residency at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, where he trained under Northwell's Director of Dermatologic Surgery and Mohs Micrographic Surgery. International research with dermatology faculty in Bologna, Italy expanded his approach to complex inflammatory skin disease, and he maintains a commitment to underserved care through San Diego's community clinic network — a scope of practice supported by prescription coordination with Carlsbad Village Pharmacy steps away on the same block. Mohs micrographic surgery with staged frozen-section margin control provides tissue-sparing excision of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma at 99% cure rates on high-risk facial and cosmetically sensitive sites.
